I wonder what the play here is? Rand might be trying to look at winning independents in '28 if he runs for higher office. He's certainly not being a team player!
GRANDSTAND Rand still self-righteously beating his chest and getting nothing done where MAGA is concerned!
Just Rand being Rand. He’s noting of the failure of Republicans to make progress on profligate overspending.
He does need to make note of exactly what he would cut and how much, not that it will happen.
Just another mental masturbation from Rand and his followers. Move along ... nothing new here...
He could be used in 28 to split the conservative vote running as an independent to give the election to the Dem. Look at Massie’s suspect campaign donors- Democratic socialists? Wonder if Paul is getting money from these types and possibly Islamists that back his non support for Israel.
For Dem donors, they’re getting their money’s worth from these KY Republican mavericks.
Rand voted for Demoncrat continuing resolutions.
Right now, his vote does not matter.
Hopefully, he changes his mind is just enough dems change theirs.
Apparently he doesn't care what his constituents want....like...open the damn government...
What does he want to cut that has any chance of passing ?
Yawn.
I hope when this all falls apart, the GOOBERS fold and we go right back to spending the way we did before DOGE and Trump, Rand is the happiest idiot on the planet. If we lose the House or Senate in 2026, this whole thing has been wasted.
The so-called GOP deficit is from the extension of Trumps tax cuts passed in 2017. Had they expired, we’d all have seen a pretty significant TAX INCREASE.
Like $3.2 trillion over the next 10 yrs. So figure $320 billion a year for 10 yrs.
Trump’s tariff revenue approaching $300 billion so far, is now making up for the “ loss” of tax revenue that didn’t increase had the Trump 2017 tax program expired and set us back. Of course Rand Paul opposes those tariffs too. As a “ tax increase”
Hello.
What exactly he stands for with his TDS grandstanding….is a mystery.
Rand Paul should bring forward his own budget proposal.
He might get three votes in the Senate and 13 in the House.
But he could beat his chest about ritual purity.
Please have your wet dreams in private.
I stand with Rand.
Wasn't this Bill supposed to be a "clean" Bill, with no extra shit. That's why the RATS wouldn't vote for it and shut down the government. So why did Rand Paul vote No with the RATS?
with “friends” like rand paul, who needs enemies ...
You would vote with the R’s if you’re vote was the deciding one, Rand. We know your game by now, since your vote doesn’t matter one way or the other you’re preening and virtue signaling as usual. I sure wish Kentucky would lay off the whiskey long enough to elect a real conservative and not a phony pussy like you.
